ENG ME 302, ENG ME 303, ENG ME 304, and ENG ME 400. Introduction to wave propagation and sound. General concepts such as quantitative measures of sound, plane waves, and acoustic energy density and intensity. Derivation of wave equation. Sound radiation from vibrating bodies. Basic ray-acoustic concepts: reflection, refraction, diffraction, and scattering of acoustic waves. Other topics may include flow-induced sound, Helmholtz resonators, sound transmission through ducts and mufflers, room acoustics, and absorption and attenuation of sound waves in fluids. 4 cr.

ENG ME 309 or ENG ME 424 and either ENG ME 304, ENG ME 421, ENG ME 422, ENG BE 420, ENG BE 436, or consent of instructor. The main goal of this course is to present a unified, mathematically rigorous approach to two classical branches of mechanics: the mechanics of fluids and the mechanics of solids. Topics will include kinematics, stress analysis, balance laws (mass, momentum, and energy), the entropy inequality, and constitutive equations in the framework of Cartesian vectors and tensors. Emphasis will be placed on mechanical principles that apply to all materials by using the unifying mathematical framework of Cartesian vectors and tensors. Illustrative examples from biology and physiology will be used to describe basic concepts in continuum mechanics. The course will end at the point from which specialized courses devoted to problems in fluid mechanics (e.g., biotransport) and solid mechanics (e.g., cellular biomechanics) could logically proceed; students may not receive credit for both. 4 cr.

graduate status or consent of the instructor. An introduction to the formation and management of technology-based enterprises for engineers and scientists. Modules include opportunity recognition and evaluation, gathering financial and human resources, and managing and harvesting ventures. Goals include an understanding of basic start-up finance and accounting, writing business plans, presenting venture ideas to industry experts, and venture leadership skills. Students will become familiar with fundamental technical and engineering issues in a variety of industries, especially information technology, life sciences, biotechnology, and telecommunications. Case studies, lectures, workshops, and projects will all be utilized. (Formerly ENG MN 522.) 4 cr.

senior or graduate standing in the engineering, physics, or chemistry disciplines, or consent of instructor. Modern simulation methods are used for describing and analyzing the behavior of realistic nonlinear systems that occur in the engineering and science disciplines. By developing and applying such methods and tools, much deeper understanding, insight, and control of novel technologies can be gained, thereby often greatly aiding technology development, and sometimes providing the leverage to turn a novel technology into a practical reality. Advanced numerical methods are covered for attacking nonlinear partial differential equations. Key aspects of the finite element method. Extensive use is made of the modern computational tools Maple and Scientific Workplace. Examples, including problems in micro- and nanoelectronics, bioengineering, material science, photonics, and physics, are introduced and related to sensing instrumentation and control. 4 cr.

ENG ME 304 or consent of instructor. Introduction to momentum, heat, and mass transport phenomena occurring in various processes. Whereas transport phenomena underlie many processes in engineering-agriculture, meteorology, physiology, biology, analytical chemistry, materials science, pharmacy, and other areas-they are key to specific applications in diverse areas such as materials processing, green manufacturing of primary materials, biological membranes, fuel cell engineering, and synthesis of clean fuels. This course covers three closely related transport phenomena: momentum transfer (fluid flow), energy transfer (heat flow), and mass transfer (diffusion). The mathematical underpinnings of all three transport phenomena are closely related and the differential equations governing them are frequently quite similar. Since in many situations the three transport phenomena occur together, they are presented and studied together in this course. 4 cr.

ENG ME 306. Provides a basic understanding of the laws of thermodynamics as they apply to different elements and compounds and their interactions in the solid, liquid, and gaseous forms as a function of various extensive and intensive variables. Analysis of the path to thermodynamic equilibrium or process kinetics is covered through studying reaction kinetics and the laws that govern mass transfer in solids and fluids. Mass transfer through membranes/cellular materials will also be covered. The course primarily covers thermodynamics and kinetics as they apply to the study of materials structure and synthesis. 4 cr.
